I got my k-1 approved by USCIS on June 30th, 2014. I believe NVC received it July 17th. I called recently and they said it was still in Administrative Processing and there is no time frame.

Any one else experiencing this long wait? How long is too long?

NVC gave me a case number that starts with MNL. I talked to one person and he said the interview schedule books up months out and he recommended using the case number to pay the fee/medical/ds160 and schedule the interview. Once she does the medical, what clock starts ticking? What's the significance of an MNL case number?

Is it okay to schedule interview if petition still in NVC for administrative processing? I have heard of some people paying the visa fee/medical and apply for ds-160 to schedule interview once case number is assigned at NVC. Is this the norm?

Got my NOA2 letter the other day. Does anyone know if it is to our benefit for both me and my fiancée to show up at the Visa interview? We are going to interview at the Manila, Philippines US consulate.
